Check out the website. This loser's gone to some effort. What does worry me is that I go to seome length to keep this e-mail account from people like this and don't use it to sign up for anything. Anyone else have a similar experience? Feel free to send him warm replies in the way that only ARRSE can.

Oh well, I'm off to collect my half a million pounds. See you poor people later.

No, but I regularly get emails from nice people, albeit ones who can't speel very well offering me millions and trillions of dollars if I just send them my details and a little bit of money to ease the transfer process. I'd like to know who's been telling whoppers as they always tell me that I've been recommended as a trustworthy member of society!

This is another version of the Nigerian scams (I think they're called 419s, after the legislation they contravene - something along that line anyway). This one is much better written than most, but as usual there are giveaway errors.

Current advice is under no circumstances reply, even if it's only to heap abuse on the sender.

I, however, got one from Uganda that I'm sure is genuine. Mr Olobu Mbangwa says he used to work for Idi Amin, and if I send him my bank details he'll forward a chunk of the former dictator's fortune to me. I replied a fortnight ago; can't wait for the wonga to come rolling in!

I write you this letter to solicit your help as I am a british soldier in dire need in Iraq.

I am Wellington Thomas, a Captain in The ROYAL MARINES deployed to Iraq to help facilitate a forceful change of the Sadam Hussein Regime in Iraq. I have served in Iraq now since the beginning of the war. I was previously attached to The British Marine Base in Germany before my deployment to Iraq. blah blah etc"
